Be Careful at the Mandarin Hotel Parking Lot

tips, whatnot 20 Comments »

It’s a common thing to say to oneself - “Nah, it will not happen to me.”  But eventually, it will, whatever it is.

Last Friday, September  26th, we were shooting a wedding in Mandarin Hotel.    It was around reception time and we were parked from between 9pm to 12mn at the lot directly in front of the hotel.  It was an evening wedding in Santuario San Antonio hence the late time.

My SUV got broken into.  The rear window, where the spare tire is, was completely ripped off.  Equipment got stolen and the sense of violation sucks.

It only goes to show that bad luck and man’s ill intent can and will strike anytime, anywhere.  Even if it’s in the grounds of a five star hotel.

What can one do?  Nothing apparently, because - “The vehicle owners expressly agree that the hotel shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of the vehicle and/or its contents. “  Sucks to be me right now.

But now you know, don’t leave anything valuable behind WHEREVER you are parking.   And Mandarin, I’m “kinda” glad it’s the first incident of its kind (according to your security), but I sure do hope it won’t happen again.

Why HD?

High Definition, news, videos 1 Comment »

Don’t worry no technical mumbo-jumbo here (well at least it’s kept to a minimum).

HD - short for High Definition.  Simply put, it’s higher quality video made available for your wedding day.  The recorded image is much much bigger, clearer, more vibrant and life-like.

So, why go HD?

1.  You want to maximize that 42 inch LCD or Plasma TV you’re buying for your new home.
2.  You’re  getting your husband that PlayStation3 or Bluray player for Christmas.  (In exchange of course with that Tiffany charm bracelet)
3.  You want the best possible recording technology available today to preserve your wedding day memories.  Nuff said.

Why HD?  It’s 2008, I guess the better question is - When HD?

With screen size alone the difference is pretty obvious (HD is 1440×1080 pixels, Standard Definition DVD is 720×480, YouTube is a mere 320×240).  To give you an idea, here’s a relative comparison chart:

The proof is in the pudding you see.  Better take a look at this web encode of an HD clip we made.
